aio for getting the ick because a guy cheats at video games?
i (f21) have been talking to this guy (m21) for a couple days. today we're texting and he mentions playing apex. im excited bc that's my game, i love apex.
as u can see in the texts, he said he was gonna sit in the firing range and "fix his cheats." and im like there's no way he cheats on video games like what so im confused. i call him and he mansplains what a xim is and blah blah blah. im already not feeling it bc the entire phone call he's tryna justify cheating because it's fun. im not arguing with him on the phone im just like ok, cool but at the end of the day it's still cheating? that's weird to me but ok.
from what he explains ur tricking ur console into thinking you're still using a controller but you're actually on mouse and keyboard but able to have no recoil and better aim assist. he literally goes into the HISTORY of xims and how his isn't even that bad.
i don't like cheaters in any capacity so this weirds me out. i just think it's odd to go out of your way to cheat on a videogame. maybe im wrong for caring so much but it's literally just a video game. why cheat? so i get off the phone with him and text him like 15 minutes after the phone call with that message and i guess he really wants to argue. i should've just blocked him immediately after that message but i didn't. wish i did.
my way of thinking was probably extreme but if you can cheat on a game, what else can you cheat on? obviously he took offense to that. again, should've just blocked him instead of going back and forth. he obviously just wanted to argue and get under my skin bc i didn't wanna talk to him anymore.
then be brings up my ex and OUCHHH that hurt.
backstory to that: we were on the phone a couple days ago and we talked about our past relationships. i opened up to him about my ex discovering his sexuality and exploring with other people. he told me about his ex girlfriend being (tw) >!abusive towards him, using him for money and cheating on him.!< it turned into a venting session but i didn't mind.
maybe i was wrong for caring so much that he cheats at a video game, but also... why cheat? i should've just blocked him immediately after the phone call and been a loser that ghosts people.
edit 30mins after posting: yes this is real. yes ive been cheated on before (by a gamer nonetheless), no im not karma farming, yes im in therapy and on medication, yes i know the comparison was extreme which i mentioned in my post. y'all are funny as hell. yes i have his in game username, yes i will report him. he plays overwatch and apex with the xim as far as i know. cracking up reading these comments and no longer crying because what he said did really hurt me LOL.
